It was a joy to draw grandbaby and grandma. Couples and groups of five were enjoyed by laurel and her friends. It was a pleasure to work for them all. Would do it again if I asked.

It was a pleasure to work with such engaging people. Drawing the Group of 8 women giggling was a treat for me. Very enjoyable groups of 3 or 4 plus couples made the time go fast. I would love to work with your company again. Thanks for a Great Review.

A wonderful experance for me as well. Everone was very receptive to my Artwork and enjoyable to work with.
Mark arrived right on time and was ready to draw. He mingled among our guests and had a great respect for whatever events were happing at the time, so his strolling while drawing was not in any way disruptive. Impressive artist and talented. The artwork really looked like the person he was capturing. We'll definitely have him back when we do another event.

What to Expect
I work from a messenger bag over my shoulder and clip board in my hand. I draw sitting as well with black marker putting up to 8 heads on each page. I have some light conversation with my subjects. This inspires more ideas to draw from. The paper is 11X17 and comes with clear plastic bag for protection. Couples are most fun as I can add a entertaining theme. I dress in Hawaiian Shirts, Dress paints or shorts and fadora / panama hats.
About
I began drawing caricatures at age 6. It was always a source of entertainment for me growing up. I drew caricatures of my teachers, friends and ship mates on the USS Midway when serving in the Navy 1975-79. I attended the Colorado Institute of Art from 1979-Aug.81. I started my business Sept. of 1981 working parties and trade shows. I had a monthly appearance on Blinky's Fun Club in the 80's. I most enjoy " Strolling and Drawing " from table to table at wedding receptions. Thank you.
Additional Booking Notes
I do well in average lighting situations. The Caricatures are given to each subject on the spot. Party Host likes to hang them up on the walls, post them on social media for all to see.
